A bullet point on the page is "Ridiculously cute!"
Also for alliance minded players is this:

I see Blizzard's tactic here. The first sample of flying pridelings is free, but then you have to pay for the real thing. Very shrewd.
After a number of runs in random dungeons, Neriad got herself buffed out in almost all blues again. By that time she was level 53, so I decided to take her to the Swamp of Sorrows, which I enjoyed. Most of the quests were pretty straightforward, but it was nice to see the changes they made to the zone. I was a bit surprised at the end with the questline into the non-instanced part of the Sunken Temple. I liked it a lot.
Then it was off to the Blasted Lands. I guess after being told that it had been one of the most made over zoned, I actually felt a bit disappointed by the changes. The quest lines were pretty straight forward "kill X / gather Y" variety. However, the murloc quests were a surprise, and the quest to rescue the baby murlocs was cute to say the least. I think a baby murloc pet should have been a reward for that quest (he loves you so much that he decides to stay!). However, I'm not sure how I feel about helping murlocs escape to potentially restart their people, because I *hate* murlocs. Finally, Neriad went down to the Worgen town in the forest in the southwest part of the zone. The area was pretty, and the story idea was great, but unfortunately the quests were all again of the straight-forward "kill X / gather Y" variety.
Neriad then went on some more dungeon runs -- this time in BC dungeons -- to buff up her equipment. BC equipment is just so sick compared to classic WoW equipment (and I'm sure later zones will made BC equipment pale in comparison). I just figured I'd skip a step and jump right to BC blues. However, I might jump through the portal at some point and do quests for reputation some point soon.
In the meantime, I want to give a big thank-you to those who sent Neriad ink to power up her inscription. That was very helpful!
